Semantic Web Rules: Covering the Use Cases

  • Conference paper
Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web (RuleML 2004)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3323))

Abstract

Rules represent the next step for the Semantic Web. A number of use cases for Semantic Web Rules have been formally and informally proposed, including ontology extension, ontology translation, data expansion, portable axiomatic semantics, matching, monitoring, and profile and process descriptions for Semantic Web Services. This talk will describe each of these use cases, provide examples, and assess the degree to which each is addressed by the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) and other current alternatives.
